I Am Not Everyone’s Cup A-Tea
Be Perfect For You
Is Anyone perfect according to anyone standards?
Not everyone will like you.
Why Change because someone told you to remove the speck in your eye?
Everyone has a log in their eye
Who are we to judge and tell someone what to do or not do?
Anger can make a person go mad
Why is it hard to just say, No?
The conversation went on a tangent.
Why does it have to be anyone’s fault?
Just have compassion and go on your merry way
Who spill the tea?
Do not get mad, accident happen every day.
Why can you not spell or make sense?
It’s the Tangent’s fault.
Why can you do it the right way?
We create unattainable because ……..our perfection mentality.
Everyone have their favorite cup of taste, do not be afraid to try
Something new, you might like it or not.

LOOKING THROUGH MY BACK PAGES IS THE THEME NO SCHEME JUST SEEMS THE THING TO DO. Here it is 2015. Christmas eve. Happy Holidays to everyone and Merry Christmas and all that jazz. Have a prosperous New Year. May we be in the mood for peace and love instead of hate. May we learn to love each other as human beings. May we learn to not always be at war.

Silence
I don’t remember the day the world ended. But I do remember the day I noticed. That photo was it, but I did not know what it meant until I sat in my darkened bathroom, staring at the newly developed film. The street was neither empty, nor abandoned. It was dead. The colours of the flowers wrapped in that red ribbon caught my eye, and as I crouched to take that photo, I could hear only the lonely silence of a graveyard after dark.

Yaaay no one's everyone's cup of tea, that's why they made coffee and all the other alternatives, life'd be boring if it weren't that way I think 🤍
So true Mariann. My cup of tea is peppermint. We all are made different, and our circumstances are different. Yet we judge each other a do petty things. Great words to live by here.
There's been a lot of tea splashing around Vocal the last few days! This is great well done.
Wonderfully written!!! Pure & honest loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
This is wonderful, and you're right. None of us as perfect and none of us are everyone's cup of tea. Well said.
It takes all kinds to make the world go round. But there are some negative people we should all stay away from for our own good. Loved your poem, as always, Mariann
Well said! Beautifully written as always , Mariann! 💝 Love your poem! 💌
We're all humans, We're not perfect and we make mistakes. And yes like you said, We're not everyone's cup of tea. We just need to stay away from those kinda negativity and go where we're celebrated. Loved your poem. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Go gurl! Speak on it! Well written & well Said! ✊🏾
I just finished reading Mike's piece, "I'm Perfect", & the way he plays with his imperfections. This is a marvelous accompaniment to his piece, so graciously expressed. Thank you for this, Mariann.
Thank you Mariann!!! I am glad you wrote this. We have a "clique" here on Vocal that seems ready to gang up and tear down. You are a fine writer!!! Keep on doing what you are doing! I admire you for speaking up.
I needed to read this... Perfectionism kicks my ass when I know perfection isn't real. Wonderful poem! 💜
Individuality sounds like my cup of tea! I appreciate your taste.
Some excellent words and observations
